In an event-driven simulation of a bank,which of the following equations can be used to determine the time of a customer's departure?
A)time of next departure = current time - arrival time
B)time of next departure = time service begins + length of transaction
C)time of next departure = arrival time + length of transaction
D)time of next departure = current time - (arrival time + time service begins)

The time of next departure can be determined by adding the time when the service begins and the length of the transaction. This is because the customer will take a certain amount of time to complete their transaction, and this time is added to the time when the service begins to determine the time when they will depart. Option A is incorrect because it subtracts the arrival time from the current time, which does not give information about the length of the transaction. Option C is incorrect because the time of next departure should be after the arrival time, so adding the length of transaction to the arrival time makes more sense. Option D is incorrect because subtracting the arrival time and the time service begins from the current time does not give the time of the next departure.
